A. Y JONATHAN A. RAWSON, JR. Liberty's Light Shines. | NEW YORK, April 2, 1776.—A fire | of liberty enlightens the world from Bedloe’s Island this evening. Gov- ernour Tryon had begun to throw up 2 work on this island in the harbour in order to establish there a safe esylum for Tory refugees. General eath of the Continental Army de termined, as he expressed it. to drive Tryon from every part of terra firma. Tyron's people, operating from the British ship Asia, were intrenching wnd fortifying throughout the day. In the evening, Major De Hart of the New Jersey battalion offered, with 200 men of that battalion, to dislodge them. Ypon arriving on Bedloe's Tsland they gound that all the men had retired to the ship for the night, but near 40 svomen and children were in a small Yuilding. The Jersey Boys fired all the huildings, saving a cottage, in which they laft the distressed women and chiidren, causing a blaze which lighted the harbour in every direction, and which the ministerial minions in these parts would do well to recognize as the syvmbol of a beacon light of liberty ahich will never be extinguished. Our men brought off all the in- trenching tools, a large number of | white shirts and greaf . likewise @n abundance of poultry of all sorts. The Asia fired on them, but not a man was Kkilled or wounded. About the same time a barge full of men, supposed to be from the enemy men-of-war, landed on the city water- front and endeavored to set fire to the | air furnace, but they were timely dis- | overed before much damage Was done This afternoon five battalions of the Continental troops now stationed here were reviewed by his excellency, Gen- eral Heath, on the green near the Lil erty Pole. They made a martial appear ance, being well armed. and went through their exercise much to the satisfaction of a great concourse of the inhabitants of the city. General Heath now has here, by a return of today, 5,210 men, exciusive of the city militi... are fortifying the city as fast as possible. A rumor has reached Con tinental headquarters that near 100 Tory recruits from Long Island have joined Tryon, but it lacks confirma tion. Quarters are being prepared for the detachments of the Continental Army which are now on their way from Bos: ton. The date of General Washing- ton’s arrival is not known. Meanwhile the fear that General Howe would bring his army here, following his evacuation of Boston, is no longer en- tertained. WHEN WE GO SHOPPING BY MRS. HARL/ Our Hats. If you were able to spend a day in the millinery department of a store you'd get & liberal edu jon in the art of buging a hat. All types of women_come in during the day, and hey ask: every concei le question. a matter of fact, you must ask a | question you ever expect to 1 satisfactory purchase o women know what they want | ey ask for it. They demand a Marie Guy or a Rose Descat 1t's because they have learned certain French designers offer models which are hecoming to them. Other women ask for a certain style of hat. such as * " or a_ Breton sailor, or a turban. They either Jike that model or they have worn it'be- fore and found it satist Every woman wishes to buy a hat that will look becoming. It is com- | mon to hear such questions in a mil- linery department as: “Do I look becoming in a sailor? Do you like | that side line on my face? Can I wea 1his color Must [ have a hat that off my face?” It" wise woman who | ows which features in a hat are boo for her. H iven in expensive hats women fre- sntly want to know whether a ma- 1 will spot and how the trimming wear, Some thoughtful women k whether the feathers will wear well or whether they will have to be | covered. In buying straw hats, of | course, a vital question arises about «he possibility of cleaning and re- blockins. i Fewer women than one imagines ask anything about the comfort the | hat will give to the wearer. They | forget that the most attractive hat | won't give satisfactory wear if it is uncomfortable. Another point to con- sider is the color. Those who intend to use their hats for travel still fre- quently forget to ask whether the | color will fade or how it will stand | 1he dust. The sensible woman asks | for a small hat for traveling because ! it's easier to carry or fold a small | hat than a broad-brimmed one. Three | ‘small hats won't occupy as much | ce in lugzage as one large one. Very few women ask, or seem to | care, whether a hat is seasonable raw hats a e worn in March and | felt hats in August. | | | | | As a matter of fact. a light felt is as cool as a straw, | & straw that's lined and trimmed LLEN. is often as warm as a felt or silk. Most women have hair in abundance enough to be indifferent about the warmth of their hats. | Bistory of Qouf Pame BY PHILIP FRANCIS NOWLAN. DURBAN. VARIATION—Durbin. RACIAL ORIGIN—Italian.

That is to say, those who bear them ave likely to trace their ancestry back through a great many generations in Kngland before they find one that came to that country (or whose ancestors did) from the city of Urbino, in the provirice of that name in Italy More Italian blood than is common- ly supposed went into the England of the Middle Ages, some of it being taken into that country by the Nor- mans and some coming direct from Italy, for there was a period when the commercial bonds between Eng- nd Italy were very close, in the days of Venetian, Ge: noese and Florentine ascendanc The rennaissance, which ecoomicaliy was a period of industrial and com- mercial prosperity. began in Italy. In consequence, Italian workmen and Italian merchandise bore high repu- tation and were in great demand in lands which had not yet made such great progre: This name, “d’Urbino” (of Urbino), at first merely indicating tho place from which the bearer had come, would most naturaily, on crystallizing into hereditary form, become Durbin and then in some cases change to Durban.

TI. Electric Reduction. duce by diet alone, or if energetic by exercise more effectively, by a propef combination of both. But sometimes | hecause of heart trouble or certain Yiidney troubles exercise is impossible. In such cases, reduction by electric | manipulation of the muscles is to be {recommended. Of course, in connec- tion with it diet must be changed and { most_of the fat-making foods elimi- { nated. | A machine has been invented which exercises the muscles automatically and more speedily than any normal | human person could manage, all with- | out disturbing the delicate organs of | the body. It consists of a large chair | | with Lroad arms and rests for the| legs, with a set of curved plates at| tached that fit over the abdomen and | the chest. The whole thing is con- nected up with a large electric switch | board. You lie comfortably at full length in the chair and when the current i turned on you felt a tingling through- out your body and a_pleasant vibra- tion of the muscles. If special reduc- tion in any one part of the body is desired, one of the metal plates is fit- ted on and a special current turned lon here. The muscles are exercised land the circulation stimulated. A swift vibration is bound to reduce and vet it is not physically exhausting, in deed it 1s excellent for the entire" sys- tem. In the case of very fat person: whose weight forbids them exercise | this electric manipulation is excellent for a start. It strengthens the flabby .muscles while it reduces, so that after | a time the patient, thinner and | stronger than he was, can begin to do | 1 few ordinary physical exercises him- self.
